Dear family and friends!
I don't know if I have said anything about Norwegians yet but we found this 19 year old kid named Nicklas from Norway. When we first met it seemed to good to be true. But now I know it's true! Like most Scandinavians the word of wisdom(health code revealed from the lord to the prophet) is a little bit difficult to follow. But with the known fear of how difficult it would be, he promised to follow the commandments. I know for a surety that if it were not for the love of our savior there would be no reason for his change. He came with us to church this week and just loved it. Good thing I was speaking in church so I could speak about things he needed to hear.
This week we also had interviews with president. He is an amazing man. He helped me understand the importance in studying the important things. As missionaries we study a lot! More than that we study the same things every day. So at times we spend our time studying things that are not really important at the moment and we lose the precious time we had to study and increase our ability as missionaries. President reminded me of the story of the wise man and the foolish man. It says that he dug deep! And built his house upon a rock! Even know we might have read the Book of Mormon countless times already. We need to dig deeper and deeper!
This week I had to renew my residency here in Spain so I got to see a lot of sweet faces including my last companion. The mission truly is the best! I have such sweet relationships with such great people!
I love ya all!
